Former lawmaker Geum referred to President Moon’s inaugural speech, which stated, “Opportunities will be equal, processes will be fair, and results will be just,” saying, “The inaugural speech is imprinted in many people’s minds and will not be forgotten for a long time,” but added, “Although it was a very correct statement, it was betrayed in the exact opposite way.” He pointed out, “The biggest mistake of the Moon Jae-in administration was dividing the people and making them fight each other,” and criticized, “Instead of refraining from calling those with different opinions as deep-rooted evils, pro-Japanese collaborators, or indigenous Japanese collaborators, they took the lead in doing so.”

Leader Ahn said, “Looking at the Incheon Airport incident, the opportunities of job seekers who had struggled for a long time were completely taken away,” and added, “I have seen countless young people who were deeply disheartened.” He continued, “There are several examples that show unfairness in the process,” and said, “These things made the people angry.”
